The Loyola Maroon Vol. XXXVIII Loyola University, New Orleans, La., Friday, Februray 24, 1961 No. 14 Visitors Ousted From Council Meeting Endowment Dinner 'Kicks Off' Loyola's 1961 Alumni Campaign Father Donnelly Calls For Support Of All A university's greatest endowment is its alumni. This was the statement of the Very Rev. W. Patrick Donnelly, S.J., university president, at the 1961 Alumni Endowment Fund dinner Sunday night. Addressing the largest kickoff crowd on record, Father Donnelly said that more important than the donations received are the people working for the betterment of the university. "We must not overemphasize money," he said, "it is not our end but only a means to an end. With it we can build for the future."Father Donnelly stated that no matter what the difficulty there is no excuse for an alumnus not contributing to the fund. "An alumnus who doe* not do his best actually damages his university," he said. The Jesuit administrator estimated that $4,800,000 will be spent for the construction of the planned student center, dormitory and faculty extension. An additional $1 million will provide a central air-conditioning and heating plant. Equipment for the student center, cafeteria, and the six-story men's dormitory will cost another $1 million. Other speakers at the banquet were the Rev. Joseph Butt, S.J., alumni moderator; Clem Sehrt, chairman of the Endowment Fund Drive; and F.

Dennis Yeager, A&S representative, made the motion; but the Council voted to table it until the next session. Shortly after Tuesday night's meeting was opened, however, Joe Conino, law school president (who had been absent at the previous meeting), made a motion to expel non-voting spectators.The motion passed. And the visitors were "asked" to leave. Once the doors had been closed, this reporter learned that Yeager again brought the motion before the Council. Vic Lota, law representative, objected to consideration of Yeager's motion. The Council then preceded to vote on the objection to the motion.The result was a 19 to 8 vote for the objection against the motion to take a stand. Meanwhile, Yeager raised a point of order as the Rev. Robert L. Boggs, S.J., came into the student lounge in the middle of the meeting. He explained that Boggs was now in violation of the closed meeting. Roland Doucet, Council president, ruled that since Father Boggs was the moderator, a position higher than ex-officio, he should be allowed to remain. Jack Cook then called for a roll call which resulted in a 15 to 11 vote in favor of letting Father Boggs remain. The Council adjourned to find a group of students and faculty members crowding in the doorways. Some Council members were as outraged as the expelled students. "It was a gross violation of the principles of democracy," Yeager said. Other members began to question the legality of the measures passed during the closed session. General opinion is that the motion will be brought up again.
